Claire Bear turns 5!

We celebrated Claire's birthday in Kansas this year with some of our old friends and their kids. It was supposed to be a swimming party, but the kids had to settle for ransacking Baba and Grumps' house because the weather was unseasonably cold. July in Kansas...go figure. Claire had a great time and has a whole fleet of new Barbies and Polly Pockets. We celebrated her birthday at home before we left so we didn't have to haul her loot with us, and she decided that multiple days of presents was a pretty good idea. She's going to be like Mommy, and celebrate her birthday for an entire week. Smart kid.
